The aim of this is to increase biodiversity in line with our section 6 plan for biodiversity.The equipment currently used by our Streetscene department is designed to cut and maintain short grass swards, and does not have collection functionality, as this is not required when grasslands are cut regularly.Wildflower meadow management requires there to be no grass cutting between March and August each year, giving wildflowers enough time to grow, flower, and set seed. Wildflower meadow management also requires the removal of cuttings to reduce soil nutrients and prevent new seedlings from being smothered. This results in a tall grassland sward and large amounts of cuttings. We need equipment which can fulfil this task.
